No longer the dark, dingy and smoky dive bar, The Cardiff Lounge, has emerged as the south bay's premiere venue for providing unparalleled sexy soulful sounds, sights and vibes of any big city venue complemented with the warm charm only found in small towns.

I love Cardiff!!!! It is the only place left in San Jose
